Calderón inverse problem with partial data on Riemann surfaces (Q541158)

Let \((M_0,g)\) be a compact Riemann surface with boundary, \(\Delta_g\) its nonnegative Laplacian, and \(\partial_\nu\) the interior pointing normal field. Let \(\Gamma\subset\partial M_0\) be a nonempty open subset of the boundary. The Cauchy partial data space of a Schrödinger operator with potential \(V\), \(\Delta_g+V\), is defined as follows: \[ {\mathcal C}_V^\Gamma= \{(u|_\Gamma,\partial_\nu u|\Gamma);\;u\in H^1(M_0),\;(\Delta_g+V)u=0,\;u|_{\Gamma_0}=0\}, \] where \(\Gamma_0=\partial M_0\setminus\Gamma\). The main result of the paper is Theorem~1.1 which says that two potentials \(V_1,V_2\in C^{1+\alpha}(M_0)\) are equal if \({\mathcal C}_{V_1}^\Gamma={\mathcal C}_{V_2}^\Gamma\). By a standard observation, the identifiability for the isotropic conductivity equation follows as a corollary. The authors also discuss consequences for potential scattering at zero frequency on Riemann surfaces with either asymptotically Euclidean or asymptotically hyperbolic ends. The method to identify the potential follows \textit{O. Y. Imanuvilov} and \textit{G. Uhlmann} and \textit{M. Yamamoto} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 23, 655--691 (2010; Zbl 1201.35183)]. In particular, the authors use the idea of \textit{A. L. Bukhgeim} [J. Inverse Ill-Posed Probl. 16, 19--33 (2008; Zbl 1142.30018)] to reconstruct \(V(p)\) using the method of stationary phase in \(p\). The main contribution of the paper is a geometric construction of the holomorphic phase functions which enter into the Carleman estimates and the stationary phase expansion. The paper is written very well.
